Google Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS heard in examples: shorthand expansion and contextual pronunciation
ArtificialAnlys · x · 2026-09-24
Artificial Analysis shared example audio reportedly generated by Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS, showcasing two speech generation challenges:
- Expanding shorthand: e.g. "Median latency was 12 ms, reported as p50." (ms, p50 read in full) and "Take the elevator to the 3rd Fl and turn left." (Fl → Floor).
- Contextually appropriate disambiguation: e.g. "St. Mary's is on Church St." (St. read as Saint vs Street).
